© AUTHOR(S).β-Keto esters were synthesized by direct carboxylation of various 4- and 5-oxo-carboxylic acid derivatives in the presence of chlorosulfonyl isocyanate in excellent yield under mild conditions. Additionally, optimization conditions were examined for synthesis β-keto esters. Finally, it has been found that trifluoroacetic acid is efficient in DCM under optimized conditions. This efficient one-pot novel method is very usefull, fair price and easy to handle of β-keto esters.
